Hi Evelyn! Thanks for any help. Sometimes those census takers didn't spell or count very well! I have seen my Nancy Greenlea spelled both ways....With the "e" and with the "a". Your guess is as good as mine. I also have about four different dates of birth for her according to whatever census year that I am looking at. Census date of birth shows> 1850 census shown as b. 1806 1860 census shown as b. 1814 1870 census shown as b. 1812 1880 census shown as 1817 and living with Betty Travis and Rachael Pratt. William B. TATE SR. lived in Grainger Co. and was a Confederate War Hero. I don't have my notes right now (we are between computers- and are slowly attempting to transfer the data.) ....but William B. TATE SR. owned much property in Grainger Co. as well as other places. He supposedly died unmarried but there are birth records for some which state that he is their father. One of those children was James Franklin PIERCE Sr....ie "Shoppie" PIERCE. He was the youngest son of Nancy (GREENLEE) PIERCE . Nancy would be my ggg-grandmother on the PIERCE side. Nancy's daughter (ie: Shoppies sister.....) was named Nancy Adaline PIERCE and married David Tate TRAVIS ( my gg-grandfather & direct line). Nancy (GREENLEA) PIERCE, as I stated before worked as domestic help for the William B. TATE SR. after her husband David PIERCE's death ( or abondanment?. It was not long before she bore a child. It is believed that she give James the last name of PIERCE to avoid ridicule. Anyway, that part is unknown for certain.....BUT... James Franklin PIERCE SR., must have been Williams child as William B. TATE SR. left him land in his will and William is also listed as the father on the birth certificate. David PIERCE was not listed on the census nor has he been found anywhere else. It is recorded that before his death, William B. TATE SR. left $20,000. in silver or gold coins in a large wiskey barrel, for maimed Confererate soldiers. I also just received a copy of an old newspaper clipping that states that William TATE Sr. owned and operated a riverboat from Grainger Co. to Knox Co. for awhile. My gg-grandfather David Tate TRAVIS, had a brother named William Henry TRAVIS and this William B. TATE SR. left a life estate for my WIlliam and his wife. There were allowed to live "rent free" on land owned by Willam B. TATE SR. until their death. Reason's are unknown to me, but William was a Civil War vet.... That could have been the reason? There are alot of very entwined things here. It gets rather complicated! This TATE and his related family get thoroughly mixed with the NOE's & CHAMBERLAINS as well as my TRAVIS and PIERCE families.
